Download or read book Applied Discriminant Analysis written by Carl J. Huberty and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1994-08-11 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on discriminant analysis focus on statistical theory. But properly applied, discriminant analysis methods can be enormously useful in the interpretation of data. This book is the first ever to offer a complete introduction to discriminant analysis that focuses on applications. It provides numerous examples, explained in great detail, using current statistical discriminant analysis algorithms. It also develops several themes that will be useful to researchers and students regardless of the analytical methods they employ. They are the careful examination of data prior to final analysis; the application of critical judgment and common sense to all analyses and interpretations; and conducting multiple analyses as a matter of routine. To encourage and enable readers to conduct multiple analyses of their data, the accompanying diskette contains the four complete data sets and five special computer programs that are referred to repeatedly in the text and are the subjects of numerous exercise problems. This enables the reader to carry out package analyses on the data sets using a variety of procedural options both within and across computer packages. The term "discriminant analysis" means different things to different people. For statisticians and researchers in the physical sciences, it usually denotes the process through which group membership is predicted on the basis of multiple predictor variables. Behavioral scientists, on the other hand, often use discriminant analysis to describe group differences across multiple response variables. Though closely related, predictive discriminant analysis (PDA) and descriptive discriminant analysis (DDA) are used for different purposes and should be approached in different ways. To accentuate these differences and distinguish clearly between the two, Applied Discriminant Analysis presents these topics separately. For graduate students, this book will expand your background in multivariate data analysis methods and facilitate both the reading and the conducting of applied empirical research. It will also be of great use to experienced researchers who wish to enhance or update their quantitative background, and to methodologists who want to learn more about the details of applied discriminant data analysis, and some still unresolved problems, as well.

This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis concerns contributions to linear discriminant analysis with applications to growth curves. Firstly, we present the linear discriminant function coefficients in a stochastic representation using random variables from the standard univariate distributions. We apply the characterized distribution in the classification function to approximate the classification error rate. The results are then extended to large dimension asymptotics under assumption that the dimension p of the parameter space increases together with the sample size n to infinity such that the ratio converges to a positive constant c (0, 1). Secondly, the thesis treats repeated measures data which correspond to multiple measurements that are taken on the same subject at different time points. We develop a linear classification function to classify an individual into one out of two populations on the basis of the repeated measures data that when the means follow a growth curve structure. The growth curve structure we first consider assumes that all treatments (groups) follows the same growth profile. However, this is not necessarily true in general and the problem is extended to linear classification where the means follow an extended growth curve structure, i.e., the treatments under the experimental design follow different growth profiles. At last, a function of the inverse Wishart matrix and a normal distribution finds its application in portfolio theory where the vector of optimal portfolio weights is proportional to the product of the inverse sample covariance matrix and a sample mean vector. Analytical expressions for higher order moments and non-central moments of the portfolio weights are derived when the returns are assumed to be independently multivariate normally distributed. Moreover, the expressions for the mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis of specific estimated weights are obtained. The results are complemented using a Monte Carlo simulation study, where data from the multivariate normal and t-distributions are discussed. Den här avhandlingen studerar diskriminantanalys, klassificering av tillväxtkurvor och portföljteori. Diskriminantanalys och klassificering är flerdimensionella tekniker som används för att separera olika mängder av objekt och för att tilldela nya objekt till redan definierade grupper (så kallade klasser). En klassisk metod är att använda Fishers linjära diskriminantfunktion och när alla parametrar är kända så kan man enkelt beräkna sannolikheterna för felklassificering. Tyvärr är så sällan fallet, utan parametrarna måste skattas från data, och då blir Fishers linjära diskriminantfunktion en funktion av en Wishartmatris och multivariat normalfördelade vektorer. I den här avhandlingen studerar vi hur man kan approximativt beräkna sannolikheten för felklassificering under antagande att dimensionen på parameterrummet ökar tillsammans med antalet observationer genom att använda en särskild stokastisk representation av diskriminantfunktionen. Upprepade mätningar över tiden på samma individ eller objekt går att modellera med så kallade tillväxtkurvor. Vid klassificering av tillväxtkurvor, eller rättare sagt av upprepade mätningar för en ny individ, bör man ta tillvara på både den spatiala- och temporala informationen som finns hos dessa observationer. Vi vidareutvecklar Fishers linjära diskriminantfunktion att passa för upprepade mätningar och beräknar asymptotiska sannolikheter för felklassificering. Till sist kan man notera att snarlika funktioner av Wishartmatriser och multivariat normalfördelade vektorer dyker upp när man vill beräkna de optimala vikterna i portföljteori. Genom en stokastisk representation studerar vi egenskaperna hos portföljvikterna och gör dessutom en simuleringsstudie för att förstå vad som händer när antagandet om normalfördelning inte är uppfyllt.

Book excerpt: This four-volume handbook covers important concepts and tools used in the fields of financial econometrics, mathematics, statistics, and machine learning. Econometric methods have been applied in asset pricing, corporate finance, international finance, options and futures, risk management, and in stress testing for financial institutions. This handbook discusses a variety of econometric methods, including single equation multiple regression, simultaneous equation regression, and panel data analysis, among others. It also covers statistical distributions, such as the binomial and log normal distributions, in light of their applications to portfolio theory and asset management in addition to their use in research regarding options and futures contracts.In both theory and methodology, we need to rely upon mathematics, which includes linear algebra, geometry, differential equations, Stochastic differential equation (Ito calculus), optimization, constrained optimization, and others. These forms of mathematics have been used to derive capital market line, security market line (capital asset pricing model), option pricing model, portfolio analysis, and others.In recent times, an increased importance has been given to computer technology in financial research. Different computer languages and programming techniques are important tools for empirical research in finance. Hence, simulation, machine learning, big data, and financial payments are explored in this handbook.Led by Distinguished Professor Cheng Few Lee from Rutgers University, this multi-volume work integrates theoretical, methodological, and practical issues based on his years of academic and industry experience.

This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the world around us, as well as ourselves, we need to measure many things, many variables, many properties of the systems and processes we investigate. Hence, data collected in science, technology, and almost everywhere else are multivariate, a data table with multiple variables measured on multiple observations (cases, samples, items, process time points, experiments). This book describes a remarkably simple minimalistic and practical approach to the analysis of data tables (multivariate data). The approach is based on projection methods, which are PCA (principal components analysis), and PLS (projection to latent structures) and the book shows how this works in science and technology for a wide variety of applications. In particular, it is shown how the great information content in well collected multivariate data can be expressed in terms of simple but illuminating plots, facilitating the understanding and interpretation of the data. The projection approach applies to a variety of data-analytical objectives, i.e., (i) summarizing and visualizing a data set, (ii) multivariate classification and discriminant analysis, and (iii) finding quantitative relationships among the variables. This works with any shape of data table, with many or few variables (columns), many or few observations (rows), and complete or incomplete data tables (missing data). In particular, projections handle data matrices with more variables than observations very well, and the data can be noisy and highly collinear.
